Note that not all software disk managers are compatible with OS2
and that OS2 is not
smart enough to remove references to these when a DOS config.sys file is
migrated. A particular
example is Ontrack Drive Rocket software which may generate cross-linked
clusters when active in
an OS2-DOS session !!
